Spring Style: Distressed Denim Shorts + Oversize Sweater

We are finally getting some stretches of warm weather here in Seattle, warm enough to wear shorts, and these are the days we all live for because it means we have left winter behind and long summer days are not far away. I know Seattle is not nearly as frigid as other areas of the country and world, and that cold and warm are all relative, right? Here in Seattle, when it hits 65 degrees the shorts and (and pale legs, haha!) come out. I ordered these distressed denim shorts last month in preparation for warm days ahead, and now that I have them in hand I can confidently say that they are the perfect high rise, light wash pair. I linked three different stores that currently have them in stock, but I think they are going to go fast! In today's look, I added a lightweight sweater, python booties, wool hat, and my favorite neutral accessories for a warm-ish spring day. If you saw last Thursday's Anthropologie spring try-on post, you got a peek at a summery look featuring these same shorts with an eyelet top and white Hermes-inspired sandals at the end. Looking ahead, I will absolutely be wearing these shorts all summer long with tanks and sandals. Please keep scrolling for more photos, outfit links, and more of my picks for distressed denim shorts and lightweight sweaters that could be a perfect spring pairing.

  11. They are such cute denim shorts on you! I love how you've accessorised this outfit but I think the outfit formula of a knit and shorts is my favourite bit - I really like those kinds of days when you can pull that combo off although it doesn't happen too often here! Being autumn it's starting to get colder so hopefully I can try this outfit combo a couple times before winter weather appears! :)

    Hope that you are having a nice week :)

  14. Such a cute outfit!! Wish I could wear jean shorts like this to work. But working at a high school I am pretty sure I'd be dress coded myself LOL
